The location of this vrbo is amazing! We felt safe walking around during the day and at night. We were greeted by several residents who were all very friendly and helped us in and out of the vrbo, which can be confusing at first, but helps with the safety of the unit.
There are great restaurants nearby! I recommend Georgettes (Saint Germain des Pres) and Monte Verdi (Saint Suplice) for great food that is beyond the local cafes. We walked to both!
Luxembourg Gardens is within walking distance and definitely a must see. You can get crepes here. Maybe stop at a pastry shop and pick up a baguette, meat, and cheese for a picnic on the lawn? Or, bring some euros to sail a boat in the fountain area?
The pastry shop near St. Placide metro station is also fantastic. We ate there most mornings before heading out to the different museums and venues for the Olympics.
The bathroom was very large. I liked the door that separated the toilet and the two sinks. This helped with our family of 5 so we could all take care of our own needs.
We struggled with the air conditioner and washer/dryer unit. I wonder if instructions could be left on how to use both of these to help future renters. There are fans in every room that were a huge support for sleeping and cooling off when we were hot from the July heat and humidity.
We would recommend this unit to other renters and would definitely stay here again!
